In Reply to: Re: Should I bother with rocks in the tank for my rosy? posted by heartsx2 on March 04, 2003 at 17:41:35:
:I just put a very large rock in my Rosy's tank (20 gallon). It's really pretty cool looking - it's odd shaped - the top is curved on one side going from the base to a high point, then almost drops on the other side (like a triangle with a curve). But it also has a tunnel that goes all the way through the base. It doesn't move or shift and is very heavy (originally bought it for my African Cichlid tank but it didn't look right with the rest of the decor). The tunnel underneath narrows quite a bit in the middle so I am going to try to file it down to make the tunnel larger. She fits now okay, but don't want any problems when she gets bigger.
:From your question, Nicodemus, you've made me question my own set up:) I don't want to be sorry again! Thanks!
Chuckle....Don't let my paranoia mess you up too! :)
Sounds like what you got for a stone is a piece of standard scoria or pumice. It has no real crystalline structure (did you know I majored in Geology in college?) so it is very brittle. If you don't have a round file, you can probably use a large bolt in a pinch. Bolts are usually hard steel alloys, so the threads will essentially work like nice file teeth.
In fact this is what I used when I was dulling down the hole edges I made in my flowerpot hide boxes. :)
